Today, we looked at a short post-apocalyptic film called 'Alone'. This clip showed a man, who was living in the world on his own, after a drastic event had occured. The ending of the film left us with questions; was the man actually alone or is this a metaphor? What triggered the light in the house?
We were asked to come up with an alternative ending to which had been used in this clip, that would be effective and tension-building. As a class, we came up with different ideas, which were all good ones, that would be suitable if this film was remade.
For example, the ideas of footprints and footsteps were suggested, as this would create an eerie, mysterious atmosphere to the piece. Additionally, ideas like splashes of blood and weird smelling aromas surrounding the character were also given.
Furthermore, we watched the opening scene to a film called 'The Road'. This is also a post-apocalyptic movie. The plot of the story portrayed the stereotypical aspects of a film of this type; isolation, an abandoned city, desperation for supplies etc.
